Co-Founder & Head of AI Β· Purands

Most AI waits to be asked. I build the kind that acts.

I'm Manoj Preveen. I spent six years teaching machines to understand language - now I build agents that act on it. At Purands, that means AI that runs retention for e-commerce brands, end to end.

What I'm doing now

Leading AI at Purands

Purands is the agentic retention platform for global e-commerce brands. Instead of static email blasts and generic messaging, it deploys AI agents that predict churn and purchase intent, then engage each customer with the right message, on the right channel, at the right moment.

As Co-Founder & Head of AI, I build the intelligence engine at its core - the agents, the models, and the data that turn every interaction into predictable growth.

  • Zero-party data from every customer touchpoint
  • Churn & purchase-intent prediction
  • Autonomous "agentic skills" that run themselves
  • WhatsApp, email, SMS, web & push - unified

What I work on

01

Agents that decide

Systems that plan and act without a human in the loop - the engine I'm building at Purands, where an agent runs a brand's retention on its own.

The core of my work β†’
02

Language understood

Intent, entities, summarization, QA, ASR - the NLP I shipped across hundreds of domains before agents were the goal.

Six years of it β†’
03

Data that earns it

The unglamorous craft of curating the data that quietly decides whether a model works at all. Usually where the real wins hide.
